In a large bowl, mix together whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon.
Stir in the muesli mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, melted unsalted butter, and honey, then mix until evenly blended.
Slowly add the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to deflate it, then divide it into 12 equal pieces.
Shape each piece into a bun and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each bun.
Cover the buns lightly with a kitchen towel and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
Brush the tops of the buns with the beaten egg to give them a glossy finish after baking.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving.
